Chapter 1666: Speechless Gu Yao

Nine days passed by in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Old Taoist Gu Yao suddenly arrived early and appeared in the Alchemy Hall.

Wu Yan was in the corner of the alchemy hall, using the precious tripod that the ancient Yao Taoist had used to refine him before, concentrating on refining the detoxification pill.

Although Wu Yan was aware of the arrival of Gu Yao Lao Dao, he did not make any response and was still immersed in alchemy.

On the ground in front of him, there were dozens of jade bottles of different sizes containing elixirs. Each jade bottle obviously contained a different antidote.

Seeing that Wu Yan was concentrating on refining the detoxification pill, Old Taoist Gu Yao did not disturb him. Instead, he picked up the jade bottles on the ground and examined them carefully.

The first jade vase he picked up was the one Wu Yan casually placed on the outside. At first glance, it was the work of making alchemy for the first time.

Opening the cork of the jade bottle and pouring out an antidote pill, Old Master Gu Yao looked at it carefully.

"The best blood-purifying elixir. I am refining it for the first time. I chose this elixir as my practice. Well, not bad, not bad. Although the quality of the elixir is not good enough, I can reach the top level after refining it for the first time, and my talent is quite good." Not bad.”

However, when Old Taoist Gu Yao turned his gaze to the jade bottle, he was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at Wu Yan in surprise.

Because, there are actually eight blood-purifying pills in the bottle, two of which are of the highest grade, and the remaining six pills all have rotations. The one with the highest quality has even reached the fourth rotation!

If it was really the first time for Wu Yan to refine this kind of elixir, then this talent would be too evil!

The eyes of Old Taoist Gu Yao looking at Wu Yan couldn't help but be filled with an indescribable complex color.

Even he, when he first tried to refine the holy elixir, could not achieve Wu Yan's step.

This is not about the quality of the detoxification pill that Wu Yan refined. In fact, Wu Yan's first detoxification pill actually failed to be refined.

Only elixirs above the sixth level can be called holy elixirs. All elixirs below the sixth level are top-grade elixirs. Even if there is no number of revolutions, as long as they become elixirs, they are still top-grade elixirs.

But Wu Yan's bottle of nine blood-purifying pills was only at the fourth level at its highest level.

What really surprised Gu Yao Laodao was Wu Yan's elixir-forming rate. He never expected that Wu Yan's elixir formation rate would actually reach 100%!

This is simply a miracle!

Any alchemist, even an alchemist, cannot guarantee that his or her success rate will reach 100% when refining a certain elixir for the first time.

For most alchemists, a 30% success rate when refining an elixir for the first time is already quite good.

The last time Gu Yao Laodao refined elixirs was when Wu Yan saw him refining elixirs with ordinary fire. Although he only opened the elixir furnace once, he directly refined thirty parts of the holy elixir.

Among the thirty holy elixirs, only two had a 100% elixir success rate. Most of the remaining 28 elixirs only had a 60% elixir success rate, and one even had only a 30% elixir success rate.

Old Taoist Gu Yao took a deep look at Wu Yan, and the complexity in his eyes was replaced by appreciation and admiration.

He then picked up other jade bottles and looked at them carefully one by one.

Seeing this, Old Taoist Gu Yao was once again stunned by Wu Yan's method of refining alchemy.

Because he looked at the jade vases in the order in which Wu Yan placed them, but it didn't matter. He was completely speechless.

The next dozen jade bottles, without exception, contained nine detoxifying pills, no more, no less!

What's even more strange is that he checked a dozen jade bottles in succession and found that none of them were the same.

What made him even more speechless was that in each jade bottle, there were no holy elixirs above rank six, but they were all top-grade elixirs below rank six.

In the best jade bottle, all nine of the top elixirs reached rank five, but none of them reached rank six!

That bottle was also the antidote pill that Wu Yan had just refined.

Ancient Yao Taoist then grabbed all the twenty-odd jade bottles that had not been checked and checked them again. He was finally convinced that Wu Yan had actually used the thirty-three kinds of detoxifying pills recorded in the "Shen Nong Pharmacopoeia" poison path this time. All of them were actually refined!

What's even more amazing is that he only refined each detoxification pill once, but they were all successful, and the quality was not bad.

In fact, if these detoxification pills were sold outside the ancient magic tomb, they would definitely be sold out very quickly.

Even the worst detoxifying elixir can be enough to lift the corresponding drug ban as long as it is symptomatic. No one knows this better than Gu Yaolao.

Of course, the higher the grade of the detoxification pill, the better the detoxification effect.

If it reaches the level of the holy elixir, it will even have the effect of breaking the ban. This is why he asked Wu Yan to refine the six-turn detoxification elixir.

What's more, if you really want to be better than Crimson Fire Heavenly Lord in alchemy, just refining the Sixth Turn Antidote Holy Pill is simply not enough.

According to Gu Yao Lao Dao's plan, he planned to teach Wu Yan a special forbidden method of alchemy as soon as Wu Yan could refine the six-turn detoxification holy elixir.

This forbidden method can make the alchemist's alchemy skills improve by leaps and bounds within a period of time. With divine help, no matter what kind of holy elixir is refined, it can increase the number of revolutions by two to three out of thin air!

In other words, if Wu Yan can refine the six-turn holy elixir, then with the help of this forbidden method, he will definitely be able to refine the eight-turn and nine-turn elixir.

In this way, he would be sure to defeat the Crimson Fire Heavenly Lord.

It seems that Wu Yan's talent in alchemy is much more terrible than he imagined. If the situation continues to develop like this, Wu Yan may surpass Chihuo Tianzun in refining detoxification pills without his help!

According to what Gu Yao Laodao knew, Chihuo Tianzun was not good at refining detoxification pills. He was best at refining various tribulation pills used to help the Venerable to overcome tribulation, and longevity pills to help increase life span.

However, with Chihuo Tianzun's arrogance, he thought that no matter what kind of pill Gu Yao Laodao taught Wu Yan to refine, it was simply wishful thinking to surpass him, a Dan Dao Tianzun who had been famous for tens of thousands of years, in just ten days.

After checking the detoxification pills refined by Wu Yan, Gu Yao Laodao showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Although Wu Yan has not yet refined a sixth-turn holy pill, Gu Yao Laodao is not worried at all.

He looked at Wu Yan who was refining pills with some curiosity. The detoxification pill that Wu Yan was refining at the moment was the first type of blood-purifying pill.

Obviously, this should be the second furnace of blood-purifying pills he refined, but whether it was the refining technique, the control of the flame, or the control of the way to purify the blood poison, it was extremely skillful, and there was no trace of stagnation.

This furnace of blood-purifying pills has not yet been refined, and Taoist Gu Yao can even judge that the success rate is probably 100%, and at least three blood-purifying pills can reach the sixth turn and become blood-purifying holy pills.

However, when Taoist Gu Yao looked at the fire palace of the pill furnace, he was shocked and his eyes widened, and he almost jumped up and cursed!

He pointed at Wu Yan and opened his mouth several times to scold Wu Yan, but seeing that Wu Yan was refining the pill without distraction, as if he didn't exist, he held back and didn't shout, as if he was afraid that this shout would destroy a furnace of pills!

However, Taoist Gu Yao could no longer be as calm as before at this moment!

With such a high level of cultivation, why did Taoist Gu Yao almost get so angry that he couldn't help cursing at Wu Yan?

The reason was simple. In less than ten days, the source of ordinary fire in his treasure tripod was reduced to less than 30% by Wu Yan!

This is simply a waste of money to the extreme!

It took Taoist Gu Yao hundreds of thousands of years to collect this furnace of ordinary fire source. During this period, he refined many pills, but he didn't want to use this ordinary fire, but chose to use his own life fire.

But he really couldn't imagine that he had only been out for nine days, and his life was wasted so much by Wu Yan!

A bigger question then floated in Taoist Gu Yao's mind.

This is ordinary fire, not Yin fire, nor Yang fire, nor various strange fires in the heavens and the worlds, but a special holy fire that only existed in the ancient Hongmeng era. How could Wu Yan, an ordinary junior in the later generations, know how to control this fire to refine pills?

Taoist Gu Yao had traveled through the heavens and the worlds, and had never seen other alchemists use this ordinary fire to make pills. Of course, it was precisely because of this reason that he was able to collect so many ordinary fire sources.

However, Wu Yan was at a critical stage at the moment and could not stop at all.

Taoist Gu Yao remembered that it was like a cat scratching, but he could only be patient and wait for Wu Yan to finish refining the Blood Purification Pill.

Seeing that Wu Yan could skillfully control the ordinary fire to make pills, Taoist Gu Yao was even more itchy. He really wanted to have a good chat with Wu Yan and ask him where he learned to control the ordinary fire.

Fortunately, although this batch of pills was more difficult to refine, Wu Yan still finished refining it quickly!

Skillfully extinguishing the fire, opening the furnace, and collecting the pills, Wu Yan successfully refined all the blood purification pills in a furnace, and used a jade bottle that had been prepared long ago to collect all nine blood purification pills.

Taoist Gu Yao had been waiting impatiently. Seeing Wu Yan put away the pills, he quickly put away the treasure tripod, as if he was afraid that Wu Yan would continue to use it to make pills.

Then, without waiting for Wu Yan to speak, Taoist Gu Yao grabbed Wu Yan's collar, lifted him up and held him in front of him, and questioned Wu Yan: "Wu Yan, although you are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen, I can't forgive you for this! You are too much. Do you know what you did? You actually wasted 70% of my ordinary fire source!"

Wu Yan smiled bitterly and shrugged, saying: "Senior, what are you doing? Didn't you say before that everything here is at my disposal and I can use whatever I want? I just followed your wishes completely, how is it too much?"

Taoist Gu Yao was completely speechless after Wu Yan said this. Indeed, he had said this to Wu Yan before, but if he had known in advance that Wu Yan not only recognized ordinary fire, but also knew how to control it, he would never let Wu Yan use that precious tripod to refine the elixir even if he was beaten to death!
